Title: Method of producing wood strips from curved logs for conversion into composite lumber products
Inventor: WILDERMAN RONALD C
IPC: B27D1/00
Filed: 1998-06-04
Abstract: A method for producing flitches prepared from round-wood logs, to the manufacture of wood slices or slats from the flitches, and methods of combining the strips into composite lumber products. The method is based in part on the concept of preparing flitches that retain the sweep or natural longitudinal curvature of the log and slicing around the sweep to prepare the slats for further conversion into composite lumber products. An opening cut is made in the log essentially following or parallel to the curve of any sweep to divide it into two approximately equal volume pieces. An opposing surface is machined parallel to the surface generated by the opening cut to produce a flitch. The flitches are then sliced around the sweep curvature to produce slats. The natural surface of the log is preferably retained on the sides of the flitches. Slats may then be edged and adhesively combined in various ways to produce composite lumber products. The method achieves an especially high yield from raw logs of products that simulate solid sawn lumber in appearance, properties, and ease of use.

Title: Copolymers for suppression of autoimmune diseases, and methods of use
Inventor: STROMINGER JACK L
IPC: A61P31/04
Filed: 2002-10-03
Abstract: Random amino acid copolymers are provided. Fifty-mers of FEAK were effective inhibitors of MBP 85-99 or proteolipid protein (PLP) 40-60-specific HLA-DR-2-restricted T cell clones. These copolymers efficiently suppressed EAE induced in susceptible SJL/J (H-2<S>) strain of mice with either whole spinal cord homogenate (WSCH) or with the encephalitogenic epitope PLP 139-151. YFAK 50-mer having a molar ratio of about y 0.8:F 0.2 inhibited binding of biotinylated MBP 85-99 epitope to HLA-DR-2 molecules more efficiently than either unlabeled MBP 85-99 or Copaxone3. YFAK and FAK copolymers efficiently suppressed EAE induced in SJL/J (H-2<S>) mice with the encephalitogenic epitope PLP 139-151. Copolymers YFK, VYAK and tryptophan-containing VWAK were efficacious in alleviating severity and duration of symptoms of EAE induced by MBP 85-99, in a humanized mouse model expressing genes for both an HLA-DR-2 linked to multiple sclerosis (MS) in humans and for a T cell receptor from an MS patient.
